Well, I did find another way to do it: "mount -l". Now to:
* rewrite the script to use that instead of parsing fstab, and then
* make sure it works correctly both with and without label
support.
Drat.
It appears that the version of mount in tomsrtbt 1.7.316 does not
support labels (no -l option) but mke2fs does support them (the man
page indicates that the -L switch is there, but I haven't tried it
yet). That will do what I need on tomsrtbt, so I should be set,
assuming I can get the script to work correctly. We will see.
Thanks for your answer, though.
